TRIMMING HEDGES, BRUSH, VINES AND OVERHANGING TREES IS AS EASY AS HOPPING ON YOUR TRACTOR, SKID STEER, OR SIMILAR EQUIPMENT WITH THE SABRE SAMURAI HYDRAULIC POWERED CUTTER THAT ATTACHES TO ANY LOADER BUCKET.
A hydraulic motor powers an oscillating cam connecting two cutting blades. Varying the hydraulic flow changes the speed of the blades. 2 inch opposing sickle sections allows the cutter to cut material up to 1 1/2″ inches in diameter. (Dependent upon the hardness of the material being cut and pressure provided by the tractor). The 38- in cutter only requires 3 to 4.5 gal/min. hydraulic flow and can be adjusted to cut vertically, horizontally, or at any angle in between with our Deluxe EZ Mount Bracket. This bracket will also allow the trimmer to be positioned upto 40 degrees below grade for trimming around ponds or along ditch embankments. (Please note hydraulic hoses or fittings are not included. #10 ORB Male fittings will be required with hoses).
The Samurai is virtually maintenance free with sealed bearings and a self-lubricating motor. Sickles are easily replaced as they are fastened with capscrews, not rivets.
The Samurai was developed in conjunction with the Canadian Research Council’s Industrial Technology Centre and tested by the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute.

The Sabre is heavy and can be awkward for one person to mount particularly if it is mounted to the bracket prior to mounting on the bucket. Recommend mounting the bracket first then attach the blade. It takes a little time attaching everything to the bucket. The bracket is attached to the bucket with two bolts that need constant tightening. Vibration from the Sabre causes the bracket to shift and loosen. Be watchful. I recommend getting hyd quick disconnects on each end of the hoses so that the hoses can be removed when adding or removing the Sabre. Helps lighten the load as well getting the hoses out of the way when carrying the Sabre.
I have a Kubota MX5400. I use 2nd gear slow so I can run the rpm’s up while moving at a somewhat steady pace. Light branches are no problem but when you get into the 3/4 to 1” size the cut is not so easy and requires stopping, backing and re-attacking to get the cut. Still working with the Sabre to find the sweet spot for speed and cut. Consider the density of the foliage you plan to use this on before buying. 1” Autumn Olive branches are a challenge for the Sabre. Larger tractors might have an easier go at it.
Overall: it’s a well built product that could use some upgrades (beef up how the bracket mounts to the bucket and design a quick attach for the blade mounting to the bracket instead of 2 bolts). Constantly getting out of the cab to retighten the mounting bolts can be a pain.
